Welcome to Feeding Horses, sponsored by Tribute.Last month our conversation with Michael Lindinger, PhD, focused on electrolytes especially during the hot and humid months of summer. If you haven't done so already, be sure to go and give Episode 5 a listen. And while most horses sweat well during the summer some do not and suffer from anhidrosis–a medical condition where the body cannot sweat normally. To learn more about anhidrosis and the nutritional aspects of it, Stephanie talks with Martha Mallicote, DVM, MBA, Dipl. ACVIM, who has researched anhidrosis extensively. Dr. Mallicote, previously at the University of Florida, just became the Associate Dean of Academics and Student Affairs at the University of Tennessee, in Knoxville.If you've ever stood in the feed aisle comparing labels, searching for lower sugar...lower starch...and ingredients you can trust...you're not alone.

Sports Social Work Is Booming: NIL, Athlete Mental Health & Careers | Dr. Matthew MooreDr. Matthew Moore joins Diversified Game to break down the rapidly growing field of sport social work and what it actually takes to build a career helping athletes beyond the scoreboard.Dr. Moore is Associate Dean of Academic and Student Affairs at the University of Kentucky College of Social Work, co-founder of the Alliance of Social Workers in Sports, founder/editor of the Sport Social Work Journal, and a leader in sport social work education and research.We get into the questions people usually avoid: Do sports social work certificates actually help you get hired? Are relationships and real athletic experience more valuable than credentials? Should social workers pursue a PhD or DSW? Why are many PhD programs funded while DSW programs often are not? Where does AI help research, and where does it fall short?The conversation goes deeper into NIL, athlete protection, dual relationships, financial literacy, youth burnout, international athletes, recruiting in Africa, and the danger of making athletic identity a young person's entire identity. Dr. Moore explains why collegiate and community sports are seeing some of the strongest growth opportunities for social workers and why social work, psychology, psychiatry, coaching, and athletic training should work together instead of competing.We also discuss the University of Kentucky's sport social work education pathways, career networking, his sport social work textbook, and a new comprehensive sport social work handbook being developed with more than 100 international experts.GUESTDr. Matthew MooreUniversity of Kentucky College of Social WorkEmail: mattmoore@uky.eduAlliance of Social Workers in SportsSport Social Work JournalLearn the mindset and moves that lead to real results.

In this episode of Restorative Works!, host Claire de Mezerville Lopez welcomes guest Melkam Tesfaye for a grounded conversation on restorative practices in higher education and student affairs. Tesfaye draws on her background in law, mediation, and conflict resolution to explore how approaches that are rooted in restorative practices take shape inside complex university systems, particularly within the context of Gonzaga University.  Tesfaye emphasizes that restorative practices is more than just an initiative, it is culture-building, relational leadership, and sustained engagement. She highlights a common challenge across both K–12 and higher education settings: not resistance to restorative practices, but the ongoing difficulty of finding time to implement and sustain them. From onboarding conversations to cohort-based training models, she illustrates how institutions can move beyond one-off workshops toward long-term relational learning.  Melkam is the assistant director of student conduct and conflict at Gonzaga University, where she works with resident directors on student conduct cases and manages conflict resolution services, such as educational conversations, mediation, and restorative justice conferencing. She is a trained restorative practices facilitator and serves on a divisional task force implementing restorative practices within Student Affairs. With a background in law, Melkam brings extensive expertise in mediation, adaptable dispute resolution, and restorative practices, along with a multidisciplinary perspective to conflict resolution. Melkam is a member of the Restorative Justice Network of Catholic Campuses (RJNCC) national planning team. She has led trainings on de-escalation and restorative practices in the workplace and is an active community mediator.  Tune in for stories and examples of everyday practices that are foundational to building trust, compassion, and shared accountability in academic environments.

What does it actually take to create a campus where students feel supported, seen, and connected? In Part 2, we continue our discussion with Briana Maturi and Trinity Jones from Loyola Marymount University, diving deeper into the emotional side of student affairs, campus culture, and the behind-the-scenes work that shapes the student experience. From late-night student conversations to finals-week decompression zones filled with pancakes, popcorn, and hot chocolate, this episode highlights the small moments that leave lasting impact on students long after graduation. Briana shares what 20 years in higher education has taught her about leadership, mission-driven work, and adapting to changing student needs, while Trinity reflects on transitioning from graduate student to full-time student affairs professional and creating spaces where students truly feel like they belong.

Is higher education keeping up with AI? For decades, the university degree has been treated as a reliable bridge between learning and work. AI is testing that bargain. As technology changes what employers need, higher education faces a sharper test - not whether it can produce graduates, but whether it can prepare people to think, adapt and contribute to an economy being reshaped in real time. In this episode of No Ordinary Wednesday, our host Jeremy Maggs, Jerome September, Dean of Student Affairs at Wits University and Lesley-Anne Gatter, Global Head of People & Organisation, examine what future readiness means for universities, employers and South Africa's growth prospects.

Stellenbosch University has approved revised residence rules that ban the use, possession and smoking of cannabis in all university-managed student accommodation. While cannabis use is legal in certain private settings in South Africa, the university argues that residences are shared living and learning spaces rather than private homes.

The epidemic of physician burnout isn't just a personal problem. Burned out doctors are more likely to make mistakes, less likely to follow preventative care guidelines, and more likely to have dissatisfied patients. When a burned out physician leaves an institution or quits all together, it can cost north of a million dollars to replace them. Unwell doctors lead to unwell patients — and an unwell health care system. The toll that the burnout epidemic has taken on physicians, patients, and even the bottom-line requires more than individual adaptation on the part of physicians. It requires a grass-roots movement to heal the healers. Our guest on this episode is Mary Brandt, MD — pediatric surgeon and Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Surgery, Pediatrics, and Medical Ethics at Baylor College of Medicine. Over the course of her clinical career, Dr. Brandt published over 245 peer reviewed publications, 26 chapters, and 2 books. She became particularly attuned to the suffering of trainees and physicians while serving as General Surgery Program Director and Dean of Student Affairs at Baylor, and she subsequently obtained a Master of Divinity Degree to better understand and articulate what she was observing. Dr. Brandt is a persistent advocate for physician wellness and correcting systemic issues in medicine. Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Brandt describes the moment she felt called to surgery, her fruitless efforts to resist this calling, and how the combination of competence and humility allowed her to manage the pressure of operating on children. We explore the evolution of the physician-wellness movement and why the health care system cannot afford to ignore the wellness of its physicians. Finally, Dr. Brandt posits that the hard work of compassion is what can sustain physicians long term. In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:00 - Dr. Brandt's unexpected path to becoming a pediatric surgeon  11:00 - Dr. Brandt's mental approach to the high stakes work of pediatric surgery  27:49 - The disconnect between the work of healing and the business side of medicine38:15 - How Dr. Brandt's studies in liberation theology have influenced her vision for the healthcare system and medical practice42:00 - The three shifts healers can make to collectively change medicine48:20 - The ‘practice' of compassion and how it can protect physicians from burnout If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us Fan MailCollege doesn't feel like a community by accident. It takes people behind the scenes who obsess over the details, fight for student leadership opportunities, and turn “a campus” into a place students actually belong.We sit down with Heather Willis, Assistant Director for Engagement at Case Western Reserve University, to talk about the real work of student affairs and student engagement. Heather walks us through how student organizations are supported, how big traditions like homecoming get built, and why school spirit is especially tricky at a high-achieving research university where students are laser-focused on academics. If you've ever wondered what student activities and leadership staff do all day, she makes it practical and human.We also go off-script in the best way: Cleveland life, Playhouse Square, trying “younger people” activities and feeling it the next day, plus hobbies that keep you sane like board games, fantasy reading, and learning pickleball. Heather shares what it was like working with Fiddy on the university spirit committee, what makes collaboration click with campus partners, and why throwback weekends can teach students the history of where they are.Before we wrap up, Heather plugs LEAP (Linking Employment Abilities and Potential), an organization supporting adults with disabilities across Cleveland through advocacy, independent living skills, and community activities.

Interviewees: Matthew Sullivan, PhD, Assistant Director of Disability Resources, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis Suchita “Suchi” Rastogi, PhD. MPH Candidate, University of Illinois Chicago; CEO, Disability in Medicine Mutual Mentorship Program Interviewer: Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education Description: In this episode of Stories Behind the Science, Dr. Lisa Meeks talks with Matt Sullivan (Washington University School of Medicine) and Suchita “Suchi” Rastogi (UIC; DM3P) about their paper, “Standardized Language for Clinical Accommodations in U.S. Undergraduate Medical Training: Results From a National Modified Delphi Consensus Study,”part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Their conversation explores how a grassroots idea—born from students' lived experiences and practitioners' urgent need for clarity—grew into the first national, evidence-based language guide for clinical accommodations. Together, they unpack how a modified Delphi process brought students, Disability Resource Professionals, and leaders together to build consensus around the precise language that transforms intention into implementation. The trio discuss how language and word choices can make the difference between support and confusion, and how transparent, shared language strengthens trust and access for all. Dr. Meeks, Sullivan, and Rastogi also reflect on the collaborative model that made this project possible—one that centers disabled voices, encourages vulnerability in leadership, and demonstrates how clarity in communication is the foundation of equity. Listeners will come away with practical takeaways for institutions and leaders: audit your accommodation templates, build structured partnerships between DRPs and Student Affairs, and engage students as co-creators in designing accessible clinical environments.

In this episode, we are joined by friend of the show and scholar, Rasul Mowatt, to challenge the myth that the Ku Klux Klan began in Indiana, exploring the 1st wave of the Ku Klux Klan, known then as the “KuKlux.” We analyse the post-Civil War context that led to the rise of white supremacist groups, vigilantism, and the Klan's origins, spread, and eventual decline. We also delve into the role of other white supremacist groups in picking up the Klan's mantle, such as the Red Shirts. This is a part of a series covering each historical wave of the Klan. Join us as we uncover the true history of the Klan and its enduring impact.   Rasul A. Mowatt is a son of Chicago and a subject of empire, while dwelling within notions of statelessness, settler colonial mentality, and anti-capitalism. Rasul also functions in the State as a Department Head in the College of Natural Resources, as an Interim Department Head in the Division of Academic and Student Affairs, and as an Affiliate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at North Carolina State University. He is the author of the book The Geographies of Threat and the Production of Violence: The City and State Between Us.   Some sources White Terror: The Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy and Southern Reconstruction https://lsupress.org/9780807178744/white-terror/ Hooded Americanism: The History of the Ku Klux Klan https://www.dukeupress.edu/hooded-americanism patreon.com/blackmyths   00:04:22 - Monologue 00:08:15 - Opening Thoughts 00:35:45 - War & Vigilantism 01:08:13 - Kuklux Origins 01:42:26 - Red Shirts & Them 01:57:51 - Compromise Inevitable 02:01:59 - The Clansman & Psychology

W. Scott Lewis recounts a moment as a Vice President for Student Affairs when his role unexpectedly required hostage negotiation skills to support a student in crisis. Surrounded by FBI agents and campus police, Scott's decisions were risky, maybe a little lucky, and deeply human—yet ones he'd make again in service to his students. Scott tells this story masterfully, balancing the real tension with his legendary sense of humor, underscoring the weight of leadership in Student Affairs.
